Welcome back

Welcome back to playing Edgar!

I am sorry to hear about your bad exeprience with the damaged horn but I hope things work through smoothly for you and that you will be enjoying playing again quickly.

I actually have a nice Yamaha YBB641 (http://www.angus1.com/tuba/rach19.jpg) that I am getting ready to part with. While not perfect, it has worked well very well for puttering around with when a BBb was a better choice than my F. Unfortuneatly I am at the other end of I-75 from you.

I am, however, very sure that you will be able to find a perfect match for yourself from the great guys here.

Best of Luck and Welcome back to the tuba!

Please take a look at the King 1241 that I've listed. No pictures yet. If you can find someone within striking distance from you who is attending the Army conference, they can possibly tote it back for you, avoiding the shipping.
